I waited a year for the initial surgery and as the time drew close to my BMX I tried to keep really busy and not to think about it. I knew I had made the right decision for me. So please try not to worry too much, I think you're doing the best thing by doing all you can to make sure you are free of disease. Will be thinking of you on July 23. Best wishes, Sarah
